Numbers 26

Numbers 26:11
The sons of Korah, however, did not die.
A small verse, but notable.  When Korah and those with him died, their tents and all around them were swallowed up by the ground.  Everyone was warned away from their tent before it happened, but their families went with them to death.

It appears that although Korah rebelled, his children were wiser than he, and did not support him.  Because they did not support their own father, they lived, and that loyalty to/faith in God was recognized.  He did not kill the righteous with the disobedient.  Only those who were at fault died for their unbelief.
